(h) After construction and commencement of operation, if authorized, Flare 4 (EPN FLARE 4) must have a stack height of 60.35 meters and must be located at Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates UTM East Meters 273185 and UTM North Meters 3573987 in UTM Zone 14.
(i) Incinerator + HRSG (EPN 13A) must have a stack height of 65.00 meters no later than the compliance date in § 112.118 of this title (relating to Compliance Schedules).
(j) The owner or operator may request an alternate means of control under the provisions of § 112.102(i) of this title (relating to Control Requirements).
